Yup. I'm wondering why the announcers sound surprised that Lovie Smith is going for it on fourth-and-goal here. If Smith were *not* to go for it, he would rightly be booed off the field.

In Buckner's case at least his team had a chance to make amends (by winning game 7).

Reminds me of the guy in Boston who let the ball roll through his legs at first base.

Bill Buckner!

That would be Bill Buckner.

Games are won and lost in the trenches. Manning was right but calling anyone out for the loss isn't going to help.

24 inches to glory, and they got it.

13-6 Panthers pending the extra point from the Bears.

What is he supposed to say?

Something a little more diplomatic. I totally agree with the validity of his assessment, but in the NFL you just can't go around blaming your teammates - you have to find a more diplomatic way to say it.

If arasina's gonna start for the Colts next year, they could use a kicker -- in which case she'd be the first one kicking field goals in a pair of stilettos ;-)

True leaders take the heat. If you point the finger, you aren't a leader.

Period.

He didn't call anyone out. What was the problem that he had? He had no protection. Pretty elementary, and he didn't throw anybody under the bus.

And the extra point makes it 13-7 Panthers with 1:57 in the 1st half.

I meant they'd rather face Chicago because they just can't score.

I agree with you, despite the Bears' touchdown here.

I see a new ad campaign featuring Manning for Trojan condoms....
